Russell's Reserve K&L Exclusive Single Barrel #2054 Kentucky Bourbon (750ml)

As the Bourbon market continues to capture the interest of spirits consumers, one distillery has completely changed its game, shed its more conservative skin, and upgraded its image to meet the desires of this new demand. Wild Turkey continues to impress us as a company and we've found that some of the best single casks we've tasted over the past few years (as well as some of the most delicious whiskies in general) have been coming from Jimmy Russell and the gang over in Lawrenceburg. Barrel 2054, bottled at 55% ABV, is the total package for American Bourbon fans: it's rich, spicy, big, bold, round, loaded with toasted oak, and balanced. It's everything you want in your American whiskey. There are hints of pepper, herbaceous notes, and pencil lead on the finish after you're wowed by the first wave of classic Kentucky Bourbon flavor. It's just great Bourbon, no frills. It's just like the sign we saw at Wild Turkey distillery this past September: "Not the latest thing. The genuine thing." Ain't that the truth.
